I followed Bud Brewer's photo tutorial, on the Knot Heads World Wide website, to make this long 3 bight Turk's Head on a Mini Maglite. I made 3 passes with 1/16" Cool Glow Stuff glow-in-the-dark cord, then a couple more passes with green 1mm cotton cord and black 1mm cotton cord.

Hello Stormdrane. I like your Turk's Head knots to put around things, but I'm still trying to figure out how you put the other colors in the knot? Do you lace them in as a different rope and tie it off at the end?
Keep up the knots.
I tie the knot with the primary color first, with however many passes I want, then go back in between those passes with a different color. The knot is tightened up to finish, working the slack out of the cords in order.
The start and finish of all the cords end in the same place, and like a single color knot, if you keep everything neat and straight, it'll be hard to tell where the start and finish are when done.
Hey can u post it ur way cause i cant seem to do it on the link thanx
@Anonymous, I've already done a blog post and video tutorial for the long 3 bight knot.
